Winnipeg police are advising the public of an inmate who has escaped by not returning to the Manitoba Youth Centre.
Police say 18-year-old Devren Michael Ponace was participating in a supervised community program around 8 p.m. on Oct. 19, and did not return to the youth centre afterward.
Ponace is described as six-foot-five and weights about 200 lbs.
Ponace is considered to be dangerous and police say do not approach him.
WPS also stated that a court order had to be obtained to release Ponace’s identity as his charges occurred when he was a minor.
Anyone who has any information on the whereabouts of Ponace is asked to call 911, investigators at 204-986-6219 or Crime Stoppers at 204-786-TIPS (8477).
